The stripe options are V6__ = C stripe, or V8__for the bumblebee stripe . The missing 3rd digit is the color of the stripe. Or if the last digit is an 8, it was a stripe delete . That's the wrong air cleaner base by the way, but you probably already knew that.

Nice find, congratulations! I agree with the Magnums, or 15" Rallyes, if you want a stock look. I see some weirdness on the firewall, and with the dash vents, I wonder if it was an A/C car with the firewall converted to non-A/C. I don't think the center vents would be standard equipment in '70. The ft seats are '68 Charger, and worth some $$$ if they're nice. Ditto the 440 Six-Pak setup if you decide to swap a 383 back in. Were the Rallye gauges standard in '70, or were they optional? If you don't mind a suggestion, the ignition coil's mounted in a high-heat area.

yea, that makes sense since the interior must be from the same 68' Charger.
The guy told me the interior was completely trashed and he bought all the charger stuff from a parts car, I just didn't know that cluster stuff was also from a charger. He also hacked the [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean] out of the firewall trying to install that ac motor. It looks absolutely terrible. I'm probably going to rip it out and weld a patch panel in there.
I knew the car was not 100% original/correct, if it was I probably couldn't afford it.
Thanks for the heads up guys.

Looks like you have a charger instrument cluster and there is no woodgrain on the dash. All 70 bees have the woodgrain dash.
All of the interior (seats etc) are from a charger I was told. so the trim on the dash is also from a charger??? Or the whole dash?
Because I know the previous owner told me the dash was taken out to put in the ac blower motor. Because I don't believe the car had AC originally and the guy wanted it installed.
Looks like it has the 68 lower pads as 70 had plastic. Where is the ign switch? 70 is on the column 68/9 on the dash.
